How exactly should the stamp duty on export agency fees be calculated? Come and teach me quickly!
Solved#Export agent#
My company is involved in the export agency fee business and has not dealt with the calculation of stamp duty in this regard before. I would like to ask how exactly the stamp duty on export agency fees should be calculated? Is it calculated based on the full amount of the agency fee, or is there another calculation method? Will the calculation method change in different business scenarios? I hope to get a detailed and easy-to-understand answer. Thank you all!

For the calculation of the stamp duty on export agency fees, first, it depends on the nature of the contract. If the export agency contract clearly stipulates the amount of the agency fee, it is generally calculated by multiplying the amount stated in the contract by the stamp duty rate. The stamp duty rate is usually 0.03%. For example, if the contract amount of the export agency fee is 1 million yuan, then the stamp duty = 1000000×0.03% = 300 yuan.
If the agency fee amount is not separately specified in the contract but is mixed with other fees, it is necessary to accurately distinguish the agency fee part first, and then calculate according to the above method.
There is also a situation where if the contract is a framework contract with an uncertain amount, when signing the contract, first affix a stamp of 5 yuan at a fixed rate. After the actual settlement amount is determined later, calculate the stamp duty according to the actual amount and make up the stamp duty. In short, the key to accurately calculating the stamp duty on export agency fees is to clarify the contract amount and nature.

Generally speaking, just calculate it by multiplying the contract amount of the agency fee by a tax rate of 0.03%. If the amount is uncertain, first affix a stamp of 5 yuan, and then calculate after the amount is determined.

If the agency fee is charged at a certain percentage, calculate the specific amount of the agency fee and then multiply it by 0.03% to get the stamp duty.

See how the contract is written. If the amount is determined, calculate it according to the amount. If it is not determined, first affix a stamp of 5 yuan and calculate the supplement later.
